Was looking into some LED lights for my garage maybe and wondered if anyone has any experiance with them. I found this video kinda interesting http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SeROsV_yePs , but the vendor on there is about doulbe the cost as I found elsewhere.

I know as much as I can learn and try to keep an open mind to anything!

I installed some LED's in the kitchen and any future replacements I'll be looking to do the same. Much more light. I picked them up at Home Depot, they are just about a foot round globe type lights, cost approx. $60 vs. $20 or less for something similar. If I was going to stay here, I'd prob install the same in the shop.

The mill I work at has been replacing mercury vapor lighting with LED lighting over the last few years. The lights are definitely brighter and the manufacturer claims they will last longer and are more efficient. I have been told that they are studying those claims to justify the expense. So far they are more efficient according to the data the electricians showed me.

I installed a pair of LED bulbs in my master bath because I was tired of baking and sweating under the incandescent bulbs while shaving. The LEDs are brighter and much, much cooler.
I'll be buying more.

Also keep in mind that regardless of how many lights you install on the celing you will still be using a drop light of some sort for most of what you do in or under a car, I learned this in my buddy's shop, he spent lots of money on multiple kinds of lights and still was at the mercy of a drop light.
When I built my shop I focused minimal over head lighting on benches and machines as needed and use what ever portable light is needed for other work.

I replace a bunch of bulbs I know I forget to turn off with LED, over six months want to say it lowered my power bill $20 a month..... I noticed the difference , but I say $20 ..but having a baby and boiling bottles seems to eat up power now..among other things...

As I'm approaching 40,I still think I'm 20. What the hell is wrong with me?

I was at Lowe's yesterday and they have a 4' shop light that's all LED for $62. That's less than what I paid for the one I have now by almost half, and it's brighter....I'm going to get 4-6 of them for my trailer, they only pull about 40 watts total each....

A person may be able to get a rebate from your local utility co. also . I know here in Seattle they are doing that , I just did a complete LED retrofit on an Ronald McDonald House and Seattle City Light Covered a big chunk of the cost.
